COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONTen different malts and six different hops (Ahtanum, Cluster, and Spalt to name a few) combine to create this full-flavored, small beer. Even Keel features a silky malt backbone and a bright hop flavor and aroma that come from the late kettle additions and dry hopping with 1.5 pounds per barrel. Even more layers of flavor are created with fermentation being done by two strains of yeast. This session ale is herbaceous with additional citrus aromas of lemon and grapefruit. The orange to copper hue draws you in and the low alcohol volume keeps you coming back for more.

On tap at Frisco Taphouse and Brewery in Columbia, MD.
Clear, medium amber with a off-white head and fair lacing.
Aroma of citrus, grass and grain.
Taste of grass, citrus, grain and floral hops.
Medium/light body and medium carbonation.
There is nothing complex here--just a perfect balance of hops and malt with only a trivial amount of alcohol. Easy to drink with ample flavor.

For having such a neutered abv, Ballast Point really took their craft to another level in making this session IPA both complex and unique. The hops are definitely palatable, and the nose is wildly misleading. This is definitely a masterful brew with humility that other breweries should take note of.
